A call to create a
Culture of Encounter

Since its inception, Pope Francis dreamed Scholas as the possibility of giving a concrete response to the call of this era, conferring on him the task of educating in the openness to the other, in listening that by gathering the pieces of an atomized and empty world of meaning , start creating a new culture: the culture of the encounter.

What’s up?

Young people and collaborators of the world catch the meaning that is created in Scholas.

"You see the beauty that each one has inside, and the different ways of expressing it: with their looks, their words ... with their art".

"We are trying not to change the world, but starting a new one, which we did not know but dreamed of, and in the end ... everything makes sense".

"It comes from my heart to be constant as a source, free as in dreams, full as a child, to love differences, to feel from the other".

"... That moment when you really open your eyes and discover a new way of seeing life."

FEEL, THINK, DO

An app that thrilled the Pope

Three girls from three different continents, without speaking the same language, managed to work, together with Pope Francis, to develop an application on the Sustainable Development Goals; a story about the use of technology for the common good. "Coding for Peace", a project of Scholas and Code.org.

The bridge of colors and hope

To the bad named bridge of "The solutions" young people of San Antonio de los Cobres, Argentina, they made art, colors and above all, dreams and hope. This region, a sad scene of dozens of youth suicides, began a path to recover from the hand and creativity of its greatest treasure: its young people.
